Hello 5 Albert Square, thank you for your message. I appreciate your assistance in correcting the DOB of Sachin Joab.

I have followed his career for a number of years and saw him in a recent film called Lion. I also read that he in another upcoming film currently being filmed called Hotel Mumbai.

I noticed that Wikepedia has notated Sachin Joab's DOB as 1978. I have searched articles, columns, reviews, interviews and have been unable to uncover his actual year of birth. I have also checked the references on his Wikipedia page and besides a couple of those references being disabled, the remaining references are still unable to substantiate his year of birth.

I then edited Sachin Joab's year of birth to indicate that it is unknown and cannot be corroborated by a valid source. It would be helpful if you 5 Albert Square could assist me in removing his unauthenticated year of birth until verified. Alternatively, as you are well versed with Wikipedia you applying the removal of Sachin Joab's unestablished year of birth would support his page.

You mentioned that it would be helpful to others if I described my changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. I did so but I am unsure if it can be viewed. I left the following summary of the amendment when saving the edit. - "Deleted Sachin Joab's DOB as that information is in fact inconclusive. The previous incorrect DOB stated that he was born November 20 1978. November 20 has not been documented or authenticated. 1978 was inconclusively endorsed by Tanu Kallivayalil (now Tanu Thomas) for the Indus Age which Tanu Kallivayalil no longer works for. Sachin Joab also has not verified his DOB to any media source or outlet which can be substantiated. Therefore, to suggest a random DOB is misleading. However, Sachin Joab's place of birth being Melbourne Australia has been documented and he himself has validated this within interviews. No such evidence has been corroborated in reference to his DOB" Thank you 5 Albert Square. RD 05:07, 17 December 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by ReachDaniel (talk • contribs)

Hello @ReachDaniel:, firstly I will point out that edit summary is far too long for Wikipedia. An edit summary is supposed to be a brief description of the edit you have made, editors are only seeing a few words of what you put above which is why it isn't making sense.

I can see that you are now discussing the DOB issue on the article talk page which is correct. 5 albert square (talk) 11:33, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi 5 Albert Square, I appreciate your letting me know about keeping the edit description brief. I was obviously unsure how much of the summary description could be seen. Hopefully with some practical understanding Sachin Joab's year of birth which is also suggested in his Early Life section (....."Joab was born the following year") can be removed considering there is no verification referencing his year of birth.

Rather than me removing Joab's year of birth as well as the line in his Early Life section and then it being reapplied, could you please tell me how long it may take for my contribution to be accepted considering Joab's year of birth is not known? Thank you 5 Albert Square. RD 12:19, 18 December 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by ReachDaniel (talk • contribs)

Hi, the discussion regarding Joab's date of birth should be on the article talk page. You may need to wait some time for other editors to respond though.--5 albert square (talk) 22:18, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for this edit. This editor is one of a handful who habitually add unsourced content to rap music articles, and your block did not seem to change editing behavior. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:17, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks--5 albert square (talk) 00:25, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

No, thank you. Most of my edits are to small towns in the southern US, but I wrote an article about a rap musician about a year ago and have been editing a lot of music articles since then, but mostly I just revert vandalism and remove unsourced content. The editors of those articles are younger, and while they have a ton of energy and love to edit, many of the rap music articles are a mess. Thank you again for your help. Magnolia677 (talk) 01:06, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

Yes, I've attempted to explain why I've lengthened the block - because they didn't pay attention to the first one! Hopefully being blocked for 72 hours instead of 31, 36, 48 etc will give them time to reflect on what they're doing. I've also told them if they ignore this one then the length of the blocks will keep increasing. Let me know if you need any further help :)--5 albert square (talk) 01:13, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

You may want to look at this edit if you get a moment. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 01:30, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Haha @Jezebel's Ponyo: I got the template from your talk page! But I read your edit summary as ho-ho-ho so that's why I went with ho-ho-holiday! By the way, what is it with all the socks on your talk page recently?!--5 albert square (talk) 00:19, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

The increase of socks on my talk page means I'm doing something right. They think they're being irritating, but they're actually validating my existence as a checkuser. Silly socks! Happy holidays to you :) --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 00:21, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

From the icy Canajian north; to you and yours! FWiW Bzuk (talk) 19:48, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

Gah, what a can of worms. I'm coming to you directly as the admin that blocked Lazuruz, who by the way is obviously block evading at Talk:List of Steppenwolf band members. I've nominated the aforementioned article for deletion as an unneeded fork, FYI. I'm here to ask you to also block the other side of this crap, Steppenwolfman. A quick perusal of his contributions will show you he is also only here to wage the war that the already blocked User is about. It appears to be a simple WP:NOTHERE block to me. I don't know if you'd feel it within your discretion, but if you could expedite the deletion of the aforementioned article and possibly semiprotect the band's article, we can send their dispute back to reddit or twitter or wherever and get it out of our hair. Thanks for whatever you can do. John from Idegon (talk) 02:31, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, I will look into this when I get a couple of minutes. I can't expedite the deletion of the article though as it doesn't qualify for WP:CSD from what I can see. It's currently at WP:AFD so we need to allow other editors the chance to comment.--5 albert square (talk) 13:09, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

I've blocked all the above accounts now. @John from Idegon:, in case you need it for future socks, I raised a sockpuppet investigation here. Closed the investigation now as I cannot see any other socks going by the article history and a general name search.--5 albert square (talk) 15:21, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Hey. I just noticed that you changed a few of the dates over, so I just wanted to mention that AP is using AWB to change them for us. I think he's already gone through the A's, B's, C's and D's. - JuneGloom07 Talk 03:11, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, can't get AWB as I have a Chromebook. Was at a loose end last night so thought I'd work my way through a couple of families etc. Then I got fed up of spamming my watchlist lol--5 albert square (talk) 00:15, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
